Six easy moves you can squeeze into your morning on days
when you have no time to exercise
Its common to feel so frazzled that you let daysor even weeksgo
by without fitting in a workout. Not only will the lack of regular
exercise leave you feeling weak and fatigued, youll increase your
health risks and may even find that unwanted inches start creeping
on.
The solution, of course, is to find a way to fit fitness into your
life.
But if dedicating an hour a day to exercise isnt realistic right
now, you can still stay in shape by doing the bare minimum. If you
squeeze in a 10-minute workout every single morning, youll accrue
the equivalent of more than three 20-minute workouts per week. And
fitting in that extra 10-minutes of activity every day for a year
will not only boost your health, but can lead to a 5-pound weight
loss. So kick-start your day with these six upper and lower-body
toning exercises.
HOW TO DO IT:
Perform one set of 15 repetitions of each exercise, taking about
one minute for each move (two minutes if you are doing one side at
a time) and avoid pausing between exercises. Do this workout every
day.
On days when you have slightly more time, do two or three sets of
the moves. Or get your heart rate up by marching or jogging in
place for 30 seconds to 1 minute in between exercises.
Modify this workout to match your fitness level. Follow the
recommended moves, or adapt them as needed to make them easier or
more challenging.
